Replying To brayballer: "The Neller is perfect for the opposition.donegal were the county that wanted us taken out of croker acfew years ago so we will play in Neller as a kind gesture to them." How the mighty have fallen?
After your magnificient 6 in a row a Dublin manager is afraid to play a team in Croke Park.

Replying To Joeynyc: "Any word why top scorer from play in Ireland went off with 10 minutes to go?" Because he was nearly dead on his feet. He had emptied the tank. We loose a game and all these bandwagon fans on now questions MC Hugh. Next year when we paly Laois and Offaly etc in the league it will be back to the genuine supporters who support the team through thick and thin

Before we move on to the next one... well done to players and management v Galway. Salthill on a sunny day in a packed stadium was unreal. WH players and management dont know when to lie down... its great to see. Chasing the game after 3x slopping goals, but never backed down.
The goal before ht was a killer. One of those...
We lost our way a little around the middle from kickouts for 15/20 mins in the second half but got to grips coming down the stretch. Ormsby for one of the young guns, tbf really got into it with 10 to go...
To a man they never gave up. Unbelievable never say die attitude.
Fair play to players and management.
No team will want to play is in coming games ….

Replying To BarneyGrant: "That argument falls with Louth's rightful insistence on picking a ground that did not cater for a third of the Armagh demand alone through clubs.
I have a PP pass but would be happy to be in lottery. PP would harldy hold even the Dublin crowd that was in Cavan and not the regular number on Hill these times. But supporters as Fionn says seem to massively favour Parnell despit that.
Huge pay off too if getting to quarter finals if they win and if - as they will be - the crowd and familiarity with the mad pitch is an advantage. Donegal themselves have made Ballybofey in particular into such a cauldron." Louth's suitation is not comparable as you well know. Here we have a suitation where the Dubs are throwing their noses up at Croke Park, the defacto home of the Dubs for as long as I remember, "Hill 16 Dublin Only" and all that lark. It really is hilarious stuff.

Your post would qualify as opinion, not analysis. Let me tell you, there's absolutely nothing analytical about what you've posted.

Opinions are what we give here, its an discussion thread on a forum.
However its incorrect to assume that a summarized comment has no analysis behind it, especially with one line responses.

I have to laugh - everyone wanted us out of Croke Park for years and now we want to move back to Parnell Park, they want us to stay in Croke Park.
Unbelievable Jeff..!
;o)
And so as to accommodate the neutral fans also no less… lol
Hilarious.

Replying To TheBishop: "There isn't too many Westmeath players who looked like they'd struggle operating in Division 1. Thought they were excellent yesterday,
Galway were ok in the fist half, took their goal chances brilliantly but unusually didn't take any advantage of the wind.
Second half was different, Galway were excellent for and the score line wasn't a fair reflection as Galway left a good few goals behind them.
Thats the 2nd game McGrath has been an unused subs, is he still carrying an injury? I was surprised too see O'Flaherty get on before O'Laoi." Completely agree, I seen ó Laoí warming up and then O Fla came on. I think FOL offers more if I'm being honest, O Fla came on and missed a very scoreable goal chance where he opted for a point (I still think he shot for goal and blazed it over though), then he kicked a very scoreable chance wide.
You could see the Morris influence really start to flourish yesterday, in accurate (for most) handpassing, the quick pass when required -> it was like watching peak Corofin-Belclare a few years ago.

Replying To hontherossie: "the short and simply is we played a battle hardened ulster team and these inexperienced players couldn't handle championship football outside of connacht. we have been here before super fit for the league but thankfully we got a nestor cup out of it." A good few selection issues Saturday didn't help.
A lad who simply has not been good enough all year continuing to get selected and ends up getting taken off at the same stage the last few games, How can we do the same thing and expect different performances.
Issues at midfield the last few games, Ryan and Doyle decent in the air but limited apart from that and shown up last two games. We had a purple patch Saturday when Cunnane came on, We then take him back off and lose all momentum.
What was the thinking behind bringing on Duggan on before Cunnane then.
Why was Enda on match day squad when he wasn't fit, Telling another player he was in the squad then calling him close to midnight Friday telling him they changed their mind and replaced by Enda who wasnt fit was a mistake.
I taught we could only change for a injury also how did they swing that one when Enda wasn't on standby list either.

Replying To shaggykev: "Dubs are lobbying right now for the game to be in Parnell Park which is woefully too small for a game like this.
If we beat them in Croke Park, that would be four championship defeats in a row at Croke Park.
In fairness Dublin do need to get out of Croker for themselves and fans but Dublin badly need a 25k stadium of their own as soon as possible." They never wanted to leave Croke park when they thought they had an advantage there, remember the groups, home/away/ neutral. They never insisted Parnell park was used then.

Replying To Scenicparish: "How the mighty have fallen?
After your magnificient 6 in a row a Dublin manager is afraid to play a team in Croke Park." I don't like it when posters don't think before they post (or possibly can't).
Since the great 6-in-a-row (only Limk hurlers in Munster also have that suffix in adult men's hurling or football), Dublin has won Leinster in '20, '21, '22, '23, '24 and Sam in 2023.
Where were all those games played? Was anyone afraid of paying, even winning them?
The most poetic justice, I feel, to now see lamenting, whiny Donegal have to live up to their own philosophy of taking the Dubs out of Croker.
This isn't about fear. This is about karma and justice.
In the Gaelic language, they have a great phrase for it: "Filleann an feall ar an bhfeallaire!"

Enough chickens in Monaghan without counting the metaphorical ones. It's the Leinster champions coming to Clones next weekend- will be a lot tougher than the Connacht ones proved.

Dublin is the best draw we could have got IMO. They are a shadow of their team from a few years ago and clearly have issues that they are struggling with. If Donegal can't beat them then we have no right to be progressing any further anyway.

Replying To DUBJOHN: "Dublin are not in decline they're in transition and Dublin have never refused to play in Parnell park they've always played where they were told to play by the Gaa, get your facts right bud !" Maybe you should have a KitKat? Bud.
This is all of Dublins making. Croke Park is now clearly far too big for them. Parnell Park will always be too small.
Why didn't they build a nice 25k stadium somewhere? Problem solved.
Call it the Coddle Memorial Stadium or something.

Well done to Cork at the weekend, I was at the game and there was no sense of urgency. Us fans did not get up for the game either, one of the worst atmospheres I seen for a Donegal home game.
Cruising in the first half and Cork had no choice but to look for 2 pointers which they hit. While we did loose I think a bit of perspective, we lost by a point. we went a long time without a score. I was surprised that one of the senior lads did not try to engineer a free just to get a score to settle us down.
Cork/Louth/Monaghan all underdogs but fought hard and won, If you are a neutral supporter you would be singing the praises of this years championship.
The Dubs in Croke Park next weekend, fingers crossed I would say a 50;50 game

On paper it looks good but anyone who follows monaghan will know it's a game we could trip up in. Bring the same energy from Saturday and work rate and play, it will be there for us. Anything less, it will be tight.

Replying To shaggykev: "The last time the Dublin men's senior football team played a championship match at Parnell Park was in 2004.
And now for a do or die clash, they want to have a game for around 8.5k.
It will make it some game in fairness but tickets will be like golddust." Wouldn't blame them for requesting Parnell Park to be honest, Donegal will at least match their support in Croke Park, makes sense to do what Louth did and try to take whatever advantage away from Donegal they can.

Replying To Commodore: "Donegal played very well in the 1st half against Cork, had a healthy lead at half time, but they seemed to take the foot off the pedal in the 2nd half and our bench had little or no impact, while the Cork bench had a very effective impact.
No 2 point attempts until the last few minutes was strange, bit like last years All Ireland final. Very strange finish to this game." I don't understand why people say Donegal played well first half. We had a 5 point lead at half time, only because we got a lucky goal and a Cork free taker missed a free that an u12 would have scored.

Hilarious." It is laughable because the Dubs always said it was their home ground.....so why is it not their home ground now!
In the Super 8s you had 2 games at Croke Park, basically your home venue twice. It was laughable then that the same stadium could be your home and neutral venues and its laughable now that you want to use Parnell Park. Croke Park was used to allow more people to access the games and so it should remain for this weekend.
How the mighty have fallen when the dubs are trying to move to an 8000 capacity venue to give themselves a chance.
